It's the mirror image of people equating Trump to a fascist. Kills the debate. Besides, it's always dangerous to water down terms by applying them indiscriminately. It's a bit like crying wolf. If one calls Trump a fascist, how will one call a real fascist? Trump is a good old fashioned demagogue, period.
